Vehicle-free zone gets mixed reactions from tourists and traders in Melaka

MELAKA: The decision to turn some of Melaka's busiest tourist-laden streets in Bandar Hilir into a vehicle-free zone during weekends has received mixed reactions from tourists and traders.

Some of those interviewed said the idea to close the roads - Jalan Istana, Jalan Mahkamah, Jalan Gereja, Lorong Gereja, Jalan Laksamana as well as parts of Jalan Tun Khalil Yaakob and Jalan Merdeka - from 6pm to midnight during weekends was brilliant.
